Get the lightest plow you can find AND you will still be replacing EVERYTHING in the front end. Buy a beater with a plow already mounted and save your daily driver from the pain and agony of pushing snow! So many plow rigs out there. XJ's are dwindling, especially after Cash-for-clunkers took a bunch away from us. Save the species. Keep 'er in a warm garage all winter with a trickle charger.

I have the Meyer's TM-6.5 on my '96. I've plowed with it for a few seasons and it works great! Can't push as much as say a 3/4 ton pickup but is much more maneuverable. Just have to catch it before it gets to deep.

Here's what I plan for next winter. No wear and tear from the weight on the front end. Before any one bash's this, its only for MY DRIVEWAY, not commercial use.

$250 to Sears for a 4' plow for my garden tractor and another $50 for chains and wheel weights. Worked great on my 100 yd driveway this last storm, It took about 15 minutes to completely clear. Snow coming up over the blade and didn't even slow down. The XJ is safe in her garage.

I suppose your right, after all you seen a video. My brother in-law has only had his 2 yrs and just cleaned his driveway of the 22" they got in Minneapolis that collapsed the Metrodome. I'm sure that snow wasn't as heavy as New England's though Especially up here 200 miles North of Minneapolis, our snow is prob even lighter!
